Quiz: When does the new LA County open?

I would love to get an interview at USC. Ive been complete for about 2 months and havent heard anything. Any other info about USC would be appreciated

I interviewed there yesterday and was thouroughly impressed with how friendly and helpful my interviewers were. County was ultra cool and it seems like the opportunities there are endless. I would definitely say Keck is my top choice.

Quiz: When does the new LA County open?

I work at Keck and I love it, too--all in vain so far, though. I've heard talk that the new hospital will open in a year, but I don't know how reliable/knowledgable my co-workers are. The new one is shaping up pretty quickly as far as construction (appearance) is concerned.

Personally, I like the old-school architecture of the current General Hospital...

when i was in la this past summer, a friend showed me the campus and the hospital. i was very impressed and i personally like the city feel.

I wonder if they will show me any love since I'm an undergrad there (here). I'm worried they will think I'm only applying as a back-up because I assume a lot of undergrads apply to their alma maters and decide to move on if they are accepted elsewhere. Should I apply ED? Do people do this for med schools? Anyway, I just got a research position from a Keck prof so maybe that will help. 😀

EDIT: Oh, If I remember correctly the new hospital should be operational within the year. I know the dean told us the date at a conference I went to recently, but I can't remember for sure, plus you can never count on big construction projects finishing when predicted. I do remember, though, that it will cost $1 billion 👍 He actually seemed a little nervous about making the money back

Yeah I like the Health Science Campus, some of the facilities are really nice too. I take it you didn't venture down to the main campus...we've got enough "city feel" to go around

I've been a volunteer at Keck for a few years now. Their clinical is probably one of the best I've ever seen. but can anyone say anything about their research? I know they're pouring in a lot more money now into it but they're still ranking in the 30s

me too!! too bad they put me on the alternate list! 🙁

Haha, yeah it's nice to know some spanish in LA, and it will be more important in the future. I was watching an elementary school class field trip the other day, they were posing for pictures in front of the library, and the teacher was instructing them in Spanish! 😱 And we wonder why underprivileged kids do so poorly on standardized tests...

 

[Elastase]

It is great to know Spanish in any Cali school you go to...Essential!
